๐ŸŒž Solstice of Surprises: Apps SDK type viewer is here!

Hey folks! :waving_hand:

As part of our Solstice of Surprises launches, weโ€™re excited to launch the Apps SDK type viewer โ€” now live for all developers building with the Canva Developers Platform!

What it does:

This new tool makes it easy to read, search, and explore the Apps SDK API in an IDE-like experience โ€” right from your browser. Instantly look up function inputs, return values, and supported objects without needing to open an IDE or clone a repo

Why it matters:

This unlocks faster understanding of what data is expected and returned across the SDK โ€”making it easier to plan ahead, reduce trial and error, and get things working with confidence. We hope itโ€™ll make developing apps a whole lot smoother for you.

Apps SDK Type Viewer

You can open the type viewer by pressing the โ€œView type definitionโ€ button next to any property, clicking the button in the bottom-right corner of the screen, or toggling it using the V shortcut key.

Drop us a reply or start a thread, weโ€™d love to hear how you use this to create even smoother developer experiences for Canva! :purple_heart:

Happy Solstice! :sun_with_face:
